Chapter 72: Xiaolu’s Visit

??

Su Sanlang looked at Chen Hu, who was sobbing, and felt extremely guilty. He secretly blamed himself.

At this critical juncture, he could not help him at all. In fact, he seemed so powerless to even comfort him.

After venting his emotions for a while, Chen Hu stood up and wiped his face. “Third Brother, thank you. Go back to sleep. I’m going back too. I can’t let her go without seeing me for the last time.”

Chen Hu’s heart was aching. He had waited ten months for his son to come. He did not even have the time to celebrate, but now he had to face the pain of losing his wife. His heart seemed to be torn in two.

He and Madam Qian supported each other through thick and thin. Their relationship was irreplaceable.

He wasn’t willing to accept the bitter truth, but there was no escaping it. He had to go back. He had to be with her. He couldn’t allow her not to see him one last time.

Chen Hu thanked him and turned around to open the door to Old Wu’s courtyard to run home.

Su Sanlang hung his head and went out the door to go home.

He blamed himself and said to Madam Zhao, “Darling, if only I hadn’t gone to the mountains. This way, if Brother Hu’s wife was in danger, she could call Doctor Wu over to take a look. Unfortunately, we’re not doctors.”

Madam Zhao felt terrible when she saw Su Sanlang blaming himself. She held his hand and said to him, “Sanlang, this isn’t your fault.”

Life was unpredictable. After all, before entering the mountains, Su Sanlang did not know that Madam Qian would give birth the same night and even suffer a hemorrhage.

With such a big commotion in the house, Su Xiaolu and Su Xiaoling were woken up.

The two of them were already dressed when they came out. Su Xiaolu and Su Xiaoling heard Su Sanlang’s self-reproach.

While Su Xiaoling was still a little worried, Su Xiaolu walked to Su Sanlang’s side and reached out to hold his hand. “Father, Mother, have you forgotten? I’m a doctor.”

Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao were a little dazed for a moment. They looked at Su Xiaolu, who has been studying medicine under Old Wu. Old Wu always said that she was very smart, but how smart and how good she was at learning was something that Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao did not understand at all. In their eyes, Su Xiaolu was just their fourth daughter.

An obedient, cute, and sensible fourth daughter that they loved.

“Father, bring me over to take a look at the situation. In the past, when I met Big Sisters Erniu and Daniu, they gave me and my sister food. Let’s go over and take a look. I promise I won’t mess around.”

Su Xiaolu said seriously.

Chen Hu’s family was not close to their family, but there were genuine feelings between them.

Not to mention how well Chen Daniu and Chen Erniu treated her and her third sister, the few times Chen Hu had helped them after she was born were all kindness.

Besides, she was a doctor. It was just that she was still too young to be recognized by others.

Seeing that Su Sanlang was still hesitating, Su Xiaolu said, “Father, Mother, I’ve treated Big Brother and Second Brother and Master even let me do acupuncture for Big Brother Zhou Heng. Although I haven’t finished learning Master’s skills, I’m not useless.”

Madam Zhao’s heart softened. She looked at Su Sanlang and muttered, “Sanlang…”

Su Sanlang had already squatted down. He said, “Xiaolu, come up. Daddy is fast. Daddy will carry you.”

“Okay, Father, wait for me. I’ll get the master’s medical kit.”

Su Xiaolu ran into Old Wu’s house as she spoke. Soon, she came out with Old Wu’s medical kit.

Su Xiaolu climbed onto Su Sanlang’s broad back.

Su Sanlang immediately carried Su Xiaolu and walked toward the village.

Madam Zhao stood by the door worriedly. Su Xiaoling reached out to hold her hand and said, “Mother, don’t worry. It will definitely be fine.”

Su Xiaoling had no friends. Chen Daniu and Chen Erniu were the only two girls in the village who were willing to talk to her. However, they had a lot of work to do. Even if they lived in the same village, they did not meet often.

But that didn’t stop them from smiling at her every time they met. They would give her some whenever they collected wild fruits.

She hoped that Madam Qian would be safe. Thinking back to when Madam Zhao gave birth to Su Xiaolu three years ago, Su Xiaoling could not help but hold Madam Zhao’s hand tightly.

Chen Daniu and Chen Erniu must be as afraid as she was back then.

Madam Zhao seemed to have noticed Su Xiaoling’s abnormality. She sighed and gently stroked Su Xiaoling’s hair. “Sanmei, don’t worry. It’s safe now. It’s getting late. Go to sleep. I’m worried. I’ll go over and take a look too.”

Su Xiaoling knew that she shouldn’t cause trouble for Madam Zhao. She nodded obediently.

Madam Zhao returned to her room and packed up before leaving.

Su Xiaoling walked her to the door. Madam Zhao instructed her to quickly go back and sleep before leaving.

Su Xiaoling closed the door and returned to her room. When she passed by Su Chong’s room, she heard Zhou Heng calling her.

“Xiaoling, what happened?”

Zhou Heng was a light sleeper and was woken up by the noise. He could not hear clearly through the walls, but since the Su family was so concerned, it must be something big. He wanted to ask and see if he could help.

Su Xiaoling opened the door and entered. Su Chong was sleeping soundly.

Zhou Heng sat up.

Su Xiaoling walked over and said to Zhou Heng gently, “Little Brother Heng, we woke you up. It’s nothing, go to sleep.”

“Xiaoling, you’ve all been very kind to me. I want to know what it is. I can sense that you’re a little upset. I want to help you.”

Zhou Heng pursed his lips. He was stubborn.

Su Xiaoling sat down by the bed. Perhaps she was too depressed, so she told Zhou Heng her thoughts. Her voice was soft.

The night was very quiet. Her sleeping brother was breathing steadily and softly.

Zhou Heng, who was listening to her, was also quiet.

When Su Sanlang rushed to Chen Hu’s house with Su Xiaolu, Chen Hu’s eldest brother and second brother were both sleeping quietly. Only the room where Chen Hu’s family lived was illuminated by the dim light and faint cries could be heard.

Su Sanlang felt terrible. At this moment, Mother Chen’s disdainful scolding could be heard from the main room.

“Cry, cry, cry. What’s there to cry about? Who can stop the King of Hell if he wants her life? Which woman can’t get through this? If she can’t, she’ll die. That’s it. It’s not like you can’t live without her. Cry, cry, cry. If you keep crying, I’ll get up and tear your mouths apart!”

Mother Chen didn’t care about her two granddaughters at all. Now that she couldn’t sleep well because of their cries, she naturally wouldn’t be good-tempered.

Mother Chen roared a few times, and Chen Daniu and Chen Erniu’s cries became much softer, but they still sobbed softly. Their mother’s life was on the line, so it was impossible for them not to cry.

Su Sanlang carried Su Xiaolu and went to knock on Chen Hu’s door. Su Sanlang whispered, “Brother Hu, open the door.”

Chen Hu wiped away his tears and got up to open the door. Before he could speak, he saw a small figure slide down from Su Sanlang’s back towards the bed.
